CAREER Benefits of Creating a Personal Brand Both personal and professional success relies on you convincing others to recognize your worth. Mind you, this applies when you are looking for a job, seeking a promotion, and vying for a leadership position. Not to mention, you still need it when creating your dating profile. So whether we prefer it or not, personal brand is vital for everyone today, and as such, you need to cultivate yours and make it stand out. What’s Personal Branding? Well, this refers to a strategic and intentional practice where you lay out or express your value. Typically, people would cultivate their public reputation and personal carefully, however, the digital space has expanded their audience base. While this is a good thing, it also comes with potential risks. Oftentimes, we would like to believe that we are the one in control when it comes to our personal brand. However, that’s never the case. Like the Founder of Amazon, Jeff Bezos once quoted "Your brand is what people say about you when you’re not in the room." Therefore, it’s all about the collective expectations, attitudes, feelings, beliefs, and associations that people hold against you. As such, your aim is to ensure that whatever narrative they create reflects who you are. Now let’s have a look at the advantages of building your personal brand: NEXT POST BY 10am #Utom58 #De_NextVerYou #Knowledge #Career

RELATIONSHIPS Why Friendship is more important than you think "In the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures. For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed." – Khalil Gibran We often prioritize and seek romantic relationships first and foremost. We also value our family bonds and tend to favor these connections. However, this can mean that we leave friendships by the wayside. And yet friendships can be very important for a good, satisfying, and meaningful life. Friendships are special because they are usually far more about positive emotions and fun than other relationships. That is not to say that friends won’t be there during the hard times, but that we tend to hang out with them when we want to. With a relative or a partner, there are usually more obligations. This means that friends can become those positive relationships that bring us joy and happiness, even when things are tough elsewhere. Secondly, friends are chosen, and as we maintain a friendship, we keep making the choice to stick with that person. It empowers us to build long and satisfying connections but let go of those that are less significant. #nakupenda #Utom58 #De_NextVerYou #Relationships

TEACH YOUR DAUGHTERS THAT They are five (5) important dresses a woman should wear in her lifetime. These are: 1. School uniform 2. Matriculation gown 3. Graduation gown 4. Wedding gown 5. Maternity gown Let your daughters know;That if any girl skips the 2nd dress, she will not get to wear the 3rd. Daughters must not rush to wear the 5th just because a man has promised them the 4th. More so, the 4th fits better and more prestigious if worn before the 5th. Our daughters must learn to wait and follow the dress pattern from 1 to 5. Be a good parent and Christian leader. We have this as a responsibility to our Children as parents. And it is Very important. #nakupenda #Utom58 #De_NextVerYou
